Principal Dentist
Dr. Parth Naik
Being a dentist is fulfilling. I like being around and helping people, educating them about their oral health, and guiding individuals toward healthy smiles.
Working with my patients, I take time to listen and learn. Each patient is unique, with specific concerns and expectations, in addition to their clinical needs. It is my responsibility to understand what an individual wants and then identify the best approach for their situation. Rather than dictating treatment, I explain the options, answer the patient’s questions, and give them the information needed to make dental decisions that are right for them.
Associate Dentist
Dr. Saud Akhtar
Prince George Local | Globally trained | Patient-first care
Dr. Akhtar joined the Timber Ridge Dental team in early 2024, bringing with him a fresh energy and global perspective on dental care. Originally from Prince George, he completed his dental degree at the University of Queensland in Australia and spent time practicing in rural hospital settings—experiences that shaped his patient-first, whole-health approach to dentistry.
DDS
Dr. Hsu Anderson
Dr. Hsu was born in Taiwan and immigrated to Canada with his family when he was 8 years old. He grew up in Langley, B.C., and later moved to Vancouver to complete his degree in Biochemistry and Dentistry at the University of British Columbia.
Dr. Hsu enjoys all aspects of dentistry, but most of all, he enjoys the people. He strives to practice patient-centered dentistry, where patient comfort and effective communication are of the priority. He also enrolls himself in study clubs to ensure he can provide every patient with the best possible care. In his spare time, Dr.Hsu loves a good match of tennis. He also enjoys spending time with his family and taking his dog Toffee out for a stroll.
